PSYCHOMETRY.
Wonderful Power of q Brooklya Physician
in Locating Veins of Minerals.

New York Graphic.
The so-called mnd-readine OF Washington
Irving Bishop and the recent exhibitions of me-
dunn Slater may seem mysterious and extraor-
binary, but the Casual met a man a few days
ago whose powers are far more marvellous This
gentleman. a physician by profession calls his
method psychometry, and in stating his claims
use his own words: II can find any mineral
known to mankind by handling a small specimen
of the ore, and l can locate any vein, no matter
where it NAV be. My power or gift enables me
ing aud without using rod, hammer or chisel"
The man who possesses this remarkable talent
is DR.. r. w. 8. Rothewll. and his home is in
Brooklyn. He has known for several years that
ne had this strange power. but it was only
recently that he conceived tie idea of exercising
Il for the purpose OF making money. At pres
ent he is locating oil wells in Pennsylvania.
He is the mysterious doctor" alluded to in the
newspapers who discovered the whereabouts of
the colored murderer, Rugg by looming that
criminals hat and coat which were In the pos
session of the sheriff, and who led the sheriffs
posse to the neighborhood where Rugg con-
cealed, enabling them to Capture him. For this
service he was entitled to the advertised reward
of 800, but he refused to accept 1t, being per-
fectly satisfied with having successfully dis
played his psychometric power. On another
casion. while in the country. he came upon a
poor farmer who was digging industriously
hillside his house. When questioned by
the doctor, the farmer stated that he
trying to find water. because he
obliged to bring all his water from a lake two
miles distant. The doctor picked up stone
from the upturned earth held it in his hand for
q moment, aud then informed the farmer that he
might dig where he was until doomsday without
discovering a we'll How much will you give
me if tell you where to find all the water you
wantT asked the doctor. ''Ill willingly give
you S5O," replied the farmer. though I'm
poor man" He was then told to go
forty feet further up the hill, measure
twenty-seven feet TO the right and dig down ten
feet when he would discover an abundant flow
of water. The farmer obeyed. ami the result
was precisely as predicted. The doctor refused
to accept the fifty dollars. saying that he was
satisfied with the success of the experiment
This strangely gifted man claims that by simply
holding a piece Of ore in his hand he can locate
the mine whence it came, tell the direction OK
the vein, and give accurate information as to
what part of tie vein contains the richest ore.
He attributes his skill in general way TO the
power of mind over matter.
